Realization of superposition and entanglement of coherent and squeezed states in circuit quantum electrodynamics
Chen Chang
We propose a new scheme for generating the superposition and entanglement of the coherent states and squeezed states by considering N superconducting charge qubits (or artificial two-level atoms) interacting with photons in a high finesse cavity on a chip, assisted by a strong driving field. By virtue of the parameters of this system, we can generate novel quantum states, for example, multiparty entangled states and Schro¨dinger cat states among the superconducting qubits, coherent states and squeezed states of the cavity. These states, whose amplitudes are about two orders greater than those from the atomic quantum electrodynamics in classical cavity, are important for understanding the boundary between quantum and classical behavior and can be utilized in experimental studies on decoherence. This device may be an architecture for future solid-state quantum computation and communication.
